Betty, Rob and Laura,
I am so sorry for your loss. Lou was such a truly wonderful man, so funny, and light hearted. He always had a joke to tell. I met your family through my friendship with the Klecha family, a long time ago. I have thought of your family many times throughout the years, and was so sorry to hear of his passing.
With sympathy and love,
Cheryl (Keller) Vidal
